Square Peg in a Round Hole

Nested in an old barn an original ‘square peg in a round hole’. Perhaps the original square peg in a round hole. This is where the saying comes from, according to the plaque.

I’ve often felt like that, when working an office job with a creative brain. Have you?

Part of the Chiltern Open Air Museum. Tickets are about £15 as of 2026, or £40 for a year‘s unlimited entry, which is good value if you live nearby.

There‘s a friendly black cat in the working farm.

A one hour walk from Chorleywood Station, on the metropolitan tube line, over rolling hills and the Windows XP screensaver.

Or a short Taxi ride. (Which goes along the valley via the next tube station so better to get a taxi from there I discovered too late.)

Only open around weekends (Thur-Mon-ish) and school holidays.
